Anyone else nervous about decreased movements?

Question

Idk if I'm just not paying attention to when the baby moves or if he just isn't moving as much now that I'm 38 almost 39 weeks. Is this normal or should I go into the ER to be monitored? I remember him moving around when I woke up but I didn't count his kicks

Answer

Yesterday i couldn’t get my kiddo moving. I did all my usual tricks that get him going like eating a cup of ice and even had Krispy Kreme donuts but didn’t get a lot. They hooked me up and he was perfectly okay just sleepy I guess. They were great and definitely encouraged me to come get checked out even though I felt like I was being paranoid she told me to come right in.

Answer

I have been paranoid the past two days. So I test to see if I get ten movements in an hour and I do, but I really need to pay attention to them because they are not as strong and more slow movements (I guess because there's not much room.) I know how you feel and I have thought about going in to get checked. Go with your gut!

Answer

Are you sure he isnt moving? I would drink some juice or a pop and then place your hand on your stomach. I dont feel her as much actually moving now but feel a lot of movement if I touch my stomach which my doctor said is normal at this point.

Answer

I was worried about this too. I had a busy day yesterday and don’t remember feeling a lot of movement like I usually do but I remembered posting about it one time and a woman told me they have lazy days too and sure enough she did. This morning she was going crazy moving so much.. she just needed a rest day like we all need sometimes. But obviously if you feel in your gut something is wrong (and I guarantee you will feel and know if there is) then go to hospitals especially if its been 2 days no movement or decreased. but babies rest too no worries!!! i’m 38 weeks

Answer

I'm 40 weeks with decreased fetal movement and my baby is totally find.. I call it calm before the storm 😄 or the space in there just got really small
